Shambles. Cancelled appointment day of and then impossible to get your refund from as next appointment is in April. All you hear is "someone will call you back". Looking at reviews it seems they do this often.
Ive had my bank refund the charge - My advice - avoid them
This company is an absolute joke - I don't understand how its still operating given the calibre of reviews they have received. Cancellation is their favourite word and deception is the aim of the game. You book, pay in advance and they will then cancel your appointment with less than a days notice. What follows is a nightmare to contact them and secure a refund. There are plenty of places that value customers and put them first - this isn't one of them. You have been warned...
I threatened them with trading standards and legal action if I don't get a refund.
Finally got an email from world pay shortly after to say I am due a refund of £49
Took 3 days and the amount went back on my credit card!

I purchased a deal for 6 laser sessions at the Poole Branch back in March for underarms only to be cancelled on twice! Making excuses that the laser doesn't work etc, then when they fixed' it the other week, a customer complained it was too hot and burnt her, they tried it on Shannon the girl who works there and it burnt her. How unprofessional telling a customer (me) this information over the phone! Then when I raised this to head office. The Australian girl in the poole branch denied it.
I have read all the awful reviews online on different review websites about their company making excuses and cancelling on clients.
This is unacceptable from a company! And put a bad taste in my mouth as a new customer.
I want the refund of £49 back on my credit card ASAP before I take things further with trading standards.
I shouldn't have to keep chasing a refund I am entitled to!
Avoid at all costs and go to a reputable company!
The place has always been busy because it has over sold through Groupon. The results, service and attitude reflect this massively. I have three sessions to go, but I refuse to step foot in the Richmond clinic again. The manager' who also performs your treatment is one of the rudest ladies I have met in this industry. You're told to contact your nearest branch, but when this is the lady you're dealing with, what hope does anyone have. ZERO. I regret recommending this to a friend because she was burnt, and has experienced a similar experience. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
We are sorry to hear about your experience in one of our clinics. We do have a central bookings line and a customer care team that can be reached should you wish to not discuss your treatments with the clinic directly. We cannot comment further on individual cases, but can assure you all of our practitioners are trained to a high standard using our machines and any such allegations are taken very seriously and escalated to our experienced team to deal directly with.
Many Thanks

AVOID! This company is a farce their machine's are not upto industry standard. You will need more than 6 session's and the results are not great even after 12 session's! Staff push for sale's with 'special offer's' all the time... you can tell they are heavily targeted. They cancel on you as staff seem to leave them in the lurge... speak's volume about how this company must treat their staff! DO NOT waste your money as a refund is not available at all regardless of your situation. Go on Facebook, an actual complaints page has been set up regarding vgmedispa, that's how terrible they are and how many unhappy customer's they have! There are so many decent laser clinic's out there and vgmedispa is NOT one of them!
I have prepaid for two infrared facial sessions £650 12th July 2018 it will be a year to date tomorrow! All my appointments have been cancelled with no notice, re scheduled and cancelled again due to short staff, illness and resignation! I left several messages, sent few dozens of e-mail, not even single reply or acknowledgement! I have managed to speak to the manager once back in January. Still absolutely radio silence since. No appointments, no refund, it has been a year to date! Absolute Shambles!
I have NEVER EXPERIENCED this in my entire life. I have only one option left to take them to the court.
Dear Lesya, we have read your feedback, and we are sorry that you are not happy with your experience at VGMEDISPA. The customer care is processing your enquiry.
I was cancelled 4 times on 3 sessions. When you call to reschedule, they simply never pick up on you, and don't return your calls. I have two more sessions to do, but it seems like I was schemed, and will never be able to reach them to finish my package.
What a SHAME!

The WORST place to get your laser hair removal done. I had my underarms lasered and after two sessions my underarms had become so dark! They were using a very high setting on my skin. I had to tell them it's worrying me that my underarms have become so dark for them to switch to a lower heat setting and all they said was it will lighten in time. I will say id much rather have hair under my arms which I can wax off than have horrifying dark underarms which has made me so self-conscious. To add to this, every time I asked for the pictures they had taken of my underarms before my treatment they'd always say they've changed systems and will contact head office and send them to me. I called them FIVE times and they gave me the same response which is when I realized they were not going to give me my pictures. Please do not go here. I've never been to a place where they care so little about the people and results. Its all about the money.
We have read your review, and we are sorry that you havent been satisfied with our service. We would like to discuss your treatment in more detail and resolve this with you directly.

Only nice until you refuse to buy a £1800 package. Anna, who called herself area manager, took me in for a consultation' which turned out to be just a sales pitch to sell a package which was discounted ONLY that day and turned very unprofessional and irritated when I refused to commit to a package. Even made a patronising remark as I was leaving. Very unpleasant.

Is the worst ever place i have been! They burnt me, they treated me bad, they dont know how to do a laser removal. Everyone is doing it in a different way. They are not safe. Even if they give me a free session i would never go there again! Never. This is how i feel iv been treated

Hello, I have 4-hour sessions to go.
Can all the unhappy customers please reply to this and inform me what actions you have taken?
I have tried emailing, calling and going to the shop in Fitzrovia but no one is there.
There has to be something we can do. This is extremely frustrating!
Thanks!
Put this off for quiet some time trying other remedies but as was spreading I just went for it, so glad. Dee was very kind, helpful most importantly friendly.my toes are starting to look healthy again do this sooner rather than later.
Thank you for sharing your review, we are pleased you have enjoyed the treatment and are happy with the results! We will share your feedback with the team, and hopefully we can welcome you again soon.

I initially purchased a £69 groupon voucher for 6 medium laser hair removal sessions however this has now turned into me adding on 2 more areas after having fabulous results from the start and being made to feel really comfortable by Rosie in the Bristol clinic. They're always super friendly and even though I find it pretty painful it isn't unbearable as it can always be turned up or down if needed and it's over with pretty quickly!
Thank you for sharing your experience in our Bristol clinic, we are delighted you have seen the results of your treatment and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Many Thanks VGMEDISPA
The six laser sessions you book with groupon are a waste money, they do the treatment on such low number that you will need 100+ treatments. Waste of time. Too good to be true. Rude staff. STAY AWAY. But everyone learns from ther own mistakes
I have never ever experienced such an appalling service, treatments are done in such a poor way so you've got to come back and buy more! For how long vgmedispa has been doing this? How can they be still trading? How can Groupon advertise them? I have no explanation! Botox lasts 1 month, laser hair removal don't work, at all! You won't lose one hair, annoying staff trying to sell more and more treatments. Worse than abysmal!
This company is a complete sham.
I'm going to their branch in London.
Had 5 laser hair treatment with almost no results. When I tried a new salon I understood why. Normally for holywood you need to spend ~15 minutes on the area - they are done after 1 minute. Unprofessional!
Also appointment booking is not flexible at all. If you need to modify an appointment you might have to wait a few weeks for the next one.
They scam people with Groupon. You'll save money going to a decent place because you'll end doing it anyway. Worst money I spent in my life!
I'm filing a complaint with consumer protection.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the treatment you are receiving with us, we are disappointed that you feel you are not seeing the results during your course of treatment using our soprano ice laser hair removal lasers, if you would like to discuss directly your client record and treatment please get in touch with customercare@vgmedispa.com or discuss with the clinic directly at your next appointment.

The staff here are abrupt, rude and have so much attitude! They treat customers like dirt! Especially when we're the ones paying their wages we should expect a bit of respect! Percy Street VGMediSpa is the worst with a really rude therapist called Kirsty! They need training! AVOID under all circumstances! They will find ways to con you and find excuses to book more appointments with them especially when nothing is even wrong! The worst place to go for laser treatment! Never again! Groupon need to stop doing business with this company! Absolutely disgusted!
Thank you for your feedback, a member of our customer care team has been in touch directly with you as a result to discuss in more detail. We take feedback on our customer experience very seriously and we are sharing your feedback with the clinic so that we can ensure this doesn't happen again.

Aimee is a lovely girl who has extensive knowledge of her profession. Gives good advice about the treatment, doesn't try to con you into buying more sessions unnecessarily. She also makes to treatment itself comfortable and not awkward at all. Preference is to be seen by her for my future sessions.
Thank you for taking the time to review our Poole clinic, we are delighted you have enjoyed the experience. We will share your comments with the team and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Many Thanks

I've had a few sessions here already (as part of a laser package) and I've really liked Candice. This is not the first time I'm getting laser done so I understand how the process works, but my previous visits to VGMedispa has left me a little uncomfortable as a few therapists really push you to buy other packages (and one even exclaimed how ridiculous I would look if I didn't get something else done...) and talk down to you about the process. Candice was very friendly and it didn't seem like she had a sales motive. She was different - the right balance between professional and friendly. I've even requested for my future sessions to only be with her!
Hello there dear D R,
Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. We take pride in giving outstanding service to every customer and we're overjoyed to receive your compliments and appreciation. We will pass on the kind words to Candice, she will be very pleased to hear your feedback.
We hope to see you soon again in our clinics. Stay beautiful!:)
Kind Regards
